THE READ · FREE SUMMARY
New Horizon School Westside is burning the cushion faster than the 8-month buffer suggests. Expenses are outpacing revenue 7.4% vs -1.0% per year over three years, and the latest operating margin is -5.2% on a 71% tuition-dependent revenue mix. Covering the deficit at today's rate, it would take more than a decade to exhaust reserves — the full budget, by contrast, is covered for about 8 months if every revenue line stopped. The board conversation here is the recovery plan for the operating model and the timeline to break-even. NACUBO Composite Financial Index: -0.1 / 10, distressed.
New Horizon School Westside reported $1.6M in revenue against $1.7M in expenses in fiscal year 2023, the most recent filing on record. Net assets stood at $1.1M — about 0.65x annual operating expense.
